Who is Snoop Dogg’s wife Shante Broadus?

Snoop Dogg and Shante Broadus have cultivated a partnership that thrives both in their personal lives and in the business realm. 

The pair, who first crossed paths as teenagers, have grown together, with Shante playing a pivotal role in Snoop’s ascent in the music industry from the very beginning.

“I was there with him when he started all this,” Shante reminisced in a 2021 interview with W Magazine, highlighting her early support for Snoop’s career. 

This partnership extended to business dealings as well, including Snoop’s decision to decline an offer from OnlyFans, knowing Shante would disapprove.

Snoop and Shante’s journey began in their high school days at Long Beach Polytechnic High School in California, where their connection blossomed over school dances and prom before they married in 1997 at The Ritz Carlton Hotel in Marina Del Rey, California.

In 2021, Shante stepped into the role of Snoop’s manager, taking charge of his extensive business ventures and media projects.
